PrismTech is pleased to announce that Vortex 2.0, a major upgrade of its award winning Intelligent Data-Sharing Platform is now generally available for evaluation and purchase. The Vortex platform provides the most comprehensive Industrial IoT solution for integrating devices, real-time high performance edge-based Fog networks and Cloud systems.

Vortex 2.0 delivers significant benefits in terms of support for Fog computing, improved robustness, security, platform support and ease of use. Vortex 2.0 includes the following new functionality:

Vortex is ideally suited for mission-critical distributed and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. It is based on the Data Distribution Service (DDS) for Real-time Systems open standard and builds on proven technologies to provide an efficient solution for Internet scale real-time data sharing. Vortex is a crucial enabler for systems that have to reliably and securely deliver high volumes of data with stringent end-to-end qualities-of-service (QoS); for IIoT systems Vortex delivers the right information to the right place at the right time.

Vortex presentation features as part of IIC’s “member information sessions” at its quarterly meeting in Austin, Texas

Boston, MA, USA – September 05, 2014 – PrismTech™, a global leader in software platforms for distributed systems, will be a featured presenter during the “member information sessions” prior to the start of the Industrial Internet Consortium’s quarterly meeting scheduled in September in Austin, Texas.

The day-long member information sessions are scheduled September 15 at the Sheraton Austin Hotel at the Capitol in Austin and will feature several consortium members. PrismTech’s session titled “Vortex™: The Intelligent Data Sharing Platform for the Industrial Internet of Things” will run from 11:15 am to 12:15 pm. Company executives and technical leaders will provide an overview of the Vortex platform for Industrial Internet environments, including a detailed Q&A session.

A public forum titled “The Industrial Internet: A Sense of the Future” will run in parallel with the member information sessions. The Industrial Internet Consortium quarterly meeting, hosted in the same location, will run September 16-18.

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications are naturally data-centric and operate as data-flow systems where (1) data is efficiently and securely gathered from a large and disparate set of end systems and applications, such as embedded, mobile, web, enterprise and cloud applications, (2) high volume data flows are analysed in real-time and stored for long term analytics, and (3) intelligence derived by the analytics engines, processed data and control decisions are efficiently and securely shared.

Information is the currency of the IIoT, therefore the selection of the data-sharing technology is a critical element of successful IIoT systems. The market is currently considering a number of different technology solutions; among these, the OMG’s Data Distribution Service (DDS) is emerging as the standard that best fulfils the data sharing needs of IIoT systems and applications.

This presentation will (1) introduce PrismTech’s Vortex: the only DDS-based platform designed ground up to address the data-sharing needs of the most challenging IIoT systems, (2) explain how Vortex compares to other technologies and addresses the efficiency, performance, scalability, interoperability, and security needs of IIoT systems, and (3) highlight a number of key use cases that demonstrate how Vortex is being used today.

Vortex includes components to connect and share real-time information between mobile phones and tablets (Vortex Café), sensors and machines (Vortex Lite), Cloud services (Vortex Cloud), from its Starter Kit (Café and tools) to the full Vortex suite, its components are delivered in convenient and affordable development and deployment bundles to simplify the evaluation and procurement process.

Will provide customers with a robust, flexible, and easy-to-use platform to connect IoT applications, data, services, and devices

Stirling, UK – June 10, 2014 – PrismTech™, a global leader in software platforms for distributed systems, today announced that it has become a Red Hat EMEA Advanced ISV Partner. This will enable PrismTech to embed Red Hat JBoss Fuse as part its Vortex™ Intelligent Data Sharing Platform for the Internet of Things (IoT).

Red Hat is the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, using a community-powered approach to provide reliable and high-performing cloud, virtualization, storage, Linux®, and middleware technologies.

PrismTech’s Vortex is an efficient, secure and interoperable device-to-device and device-to-Cloud real-time data-sharing platform with more than 20 configurable end-to-end Qualities-of-Service (QoS).

Vortex Gateway plans to leverage Red Hat JBoss Fuse and its support for multiple protocols (MQTT, XMPP, AMQP, JMS), support for more than 100 connectors, and support for integrating with proprietary and Web Technologies such as W3C Web Services and RESTful Web Services, to seamlessly integrate with applications, services, and devices.

“We are delighted to welcome PrismTech to the Red Hat EMEA Advanced ISV Partner Program,” said Simon Williams, head of ISVs, EMEA, Red Hat. “We believe that the combination of Red Hat JBoss Fuse technology and PrismTech’s Vortex Gateway will provide an excellent connectivity solution for next generation IoT applications.”

Gateway v1.2 is an enhanced version of OpenSplice Gateway and introduces dynamic QoS mediation to enable run-time manipulation of the quality of service with which data flows between input and output endpoints.

DDSI2E is an enhanced version of DDSI2 networking service offering better determinism and scalability whilst maintaining interoperability with other DDSI implementations and also supports optional encryption of data.

The new features are commercial add-on products available for 30 day evaluation download here.
